Nottinghamshire Police's Chief Constable Craig Guildford said: “I remain absolutely committed to raising the number of operational constables and I am confident that, through our work with the Office of the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner, we now have the financial plans in place to achieve this.

“The force is giving the public the chance to make a difference to the communities it serves.

"We want to attract and retain talented people with a diverse range of skills, experience and from a range of backgrounds who are committed to making us better at both what we do and how we do it.

"We have been recruiting for a range of roles, from volunteer special constables to front-line regular officers, and we look forward to that recruitment continuing over the months to come.”

The new officers will be deployed across the county - but it is not clear at this stage where in the county the new recruits will be deployed.
